standing still! They're coming out of the first turn, and this announcer needs a drink!"

  Tabor, the Sugardown announcer exclaims, "They're coming down the first straightaway and Skinny Girl is running like
the wind today, moving up to 2nd place! You wouldn't think those little paws could cover ground like that, but I guess
they have to burn up all that food somehow!"

  Tabor, the Sugardown announcer exclaims, "The Great Cakehole's paws are a blur of motion as it's entering the second
turn, followed closely by Skinny Girl and Sashay Away!"

  Tabor, the Sugardown announcer exclaims, "As the humgii are coming out of the second turn, a big smile is on Evrett
Loteshur's face. His humgii - The Great Cakehole - is on fire today!"

  Tabor, the Sugardown announcer exclaims, "The humgiis are running down the second straightaway and with the crowd
cheering madly, Sashay Away moves up to 2nd!"

  Tabor, the Sugardown announcer exclaims, "The pack is entering the final turn and Waychaw Bellows, riding The Nomwich,
is....yes! Waychaw Bellows takes his whip and uses it to trip Sashay Away, taking 2nd in the process! What a hero! I
love this sport!"

Cooper

Wow, that's awesome! Congratulations.

Aesi

God I wish I bet my ten to win lol.

i managed to get 953 from 10'to show on him.

way to go Chris!

Szanthax

Awesome!!

Sarathai

I wish I'd ever been able to win that much at the races.

Valkyn

Fun shopping trip... deciding what to do with 4500cr of someone else's money.

Dochitha

Thoths Fang here I come. 

Kayeil

I knew betting on those high paying types would be worth it eventually! That's why I always bet on them. Sad I didn't have tickets on that one. Congrats!

Sobriquet

Awesome

Peak

Congrats! Now you can join the ranks of people who bought a veil to find other people who bought a veil.

Aepas

I heard about this. It is a bug. Don't worry you'll get a full refund on your track tickets!

Peak

IIRC, @Seftin won just over 10000cr on one race.

Achilles

Are you thinking of Titonus?  

Lannah

I won 409 tonight. Thinking about getting me a custom pet now :pleased: 

Anedhel

Very cool!

Gamden

I got 20 humgii tickets in a stocking, checking the the racetrack list i saw one humgii worth 3000cr on one win.
I bet 14 odd tickets on him to win...

This thread played over and over in my head...
Slow clap from the crowds, highfives all around....

I won 16cr from some unknown fucker that placed...the humgii worth this much came dead last.
Sigh* i can only dream

Comitis

If only i could do that. Considering thats around how much ive lost to trading in and changing class all the time.

Maccabeus

I can never bring myself to bet on anything other than the fastest humgii. I like a probable chance of winning 5 credits over a longshot of winning 1000+ credits. But alas, no 4.5k credit pay days for me 

Krypton

So bet 900 tickets on the 1:5 odds?....

Checking the probabilities.....yep, just as I thought, when I punch those numbers into my calculator it makes a happy face

That's if you win every single time though
At 1:5 odds, you'd win 1/5 of the time.

I think you've got it backwards. On any given 1:5 bet you're more likely to win than lose

Dairon

I think you're right.

*** The bell rings, the gates open, and the race is on! ***

Tabor, the Sugardown announcer exclaims, "Look at those humgii go! They're only a few lengths out of the starting gate but Roasted n' Toasted has 

already edged out a small lead, urged forward by Bud Bramble!"

Tabor, the Sugardown announcer exclaims, "Eat n' Run's jockey, Kao Meijai, just pulled out a tiny bow and shot Roasted n' Toasted in the rear as 

the pack is entering the first turn, and Eat n' Run takes first as a result! You just know a Mark contract is coming out of this race, folks!"

 

Tabor, the Sugardown announcer exclaims, "Wow! As they're coming out of the first turn, Culinary Rebel rocketed into first, overtaking Eat n' Run.

Akello Birungi must be feeding it right!"

Tabor, the Sugardown announcer exclaims, "Eat n' Run's jockey, Kao Meijai, just pulled out a tiny bow and shot Culinary Rebel in the rear as the 

pack is coming down the first straightaway, and Eat n' Run takes first as a result! You just know a Mark contract is coming out of this race, 

folks!"

Tabor, the Sugardown announcer exclaims, "The humgiis are entering the second turn and with the crowd cheering madly, Culinary Rebel moves up to 

2nd!"

  

Tabor, the Sugardown announcer exclaims, "Eat n' Run is in the lead as they are coming out of the second turn. Culinary Rebel and Steve trail in 

2nd and 3rd!"

 

Tabor, the Sugardown announcer exclaims, "As they're running down the second straightaway, Mr. Mighty bites Steve right on the hindquarters, and 

when Steve turns around to retaliate, Mr. Mighty dashes past, taking 3rd!"

 

Tabor, the Sugardown announcer exclaims, "As they entering the final turn, Legacy of Skipicus, driven hard by Janube Mokwaha, leaps to the fore, 

overtaking Eat n' Run. This commentator's mind is blown!"

  

Tabor, the Sugardown announcer exclaims, "They're coming out of the final turn, and Bud Bramble just nosed his humgii - Roasted n' Toasted - to 

first! They're running a great race!"

  

Tabor, the Sugardown announcer exclaims, "Roasted n' Toasted kicks it into high gear and opens up an even bigger lead than before as they're 

running down the final straightaway. That humgii sure can run!"

Tabor, the Sugardown announcer exclaims, "They're running like their lives depend on it! Roasted n' Toasted looks like the winner, but no! Eat n' 

Run pulls it out at the last second and takes first!! Second goes to Legacy of Skipicus and third to Steve!"

You have won 900 Bound Credit(s) on your bet: 3 tickets on Eat n' Run wins the race!

You haven't won anything on your bet: McMuffin Top wins the race.

You haven't won anything on your bet: Rummin' Raisin wins the race.

Not much compared to 4500, but I feel good! 

Maccabeus

Damn, maybe I should play the longshots

Comitis

How do you get the tickets anyways

Valkyn

Last time I played the long shots I got nothing... I think I'll stick to taking the very likely 4-5cr per.

Tibitha

Based on the odds and payout, a ticket is technically "worth" 3cr. So anything over that is profit. That said, I always bet on the highest one and never win a damn thing.
